I'm just going up 2 trees in crafting, and it is a pain, as I am running wind mills. Don't have the points to go much higher, but that in itself is a pain for resources.
For the 2 trees I have to make 28000 give or take a few, and in that I am going to use about 8mil units of steel, and about 1 mil units of aluminum and ore. The steel isn't too bad to get as I am able to pick up stacks of about 100k a week, which is a little more that what my weekly grind goes through, and with the metal recycler I am able to not destroy any stragling resources. If I find 10k here or 5 k there I just send them through the machine and I have one nice large stack. Figure I'll be finished with my grind by the end of the year 
Not too worried about when I unlock.

What do you mean you don't need technique and repair. Here is a good one for everyone. You need master crafter if you want to.
1) Make a good lightsabre, the only weapon you can use, and get experimentation points. Master Lightsabre as a jedi only gives you have of your buffs for crafting sabre's..where do you get the rest??
2) Repair your lightsabre, no one else can
3) Think about it....

Maybe I heard wrong, but I think that the 10 lots are shared between both characters.

AS a Fact that not only Crafters are Screwed on the terms of becomming a Initiated, but also the medic aka Doc profetion. What I mean if you play the game and do what you have to do ...Buffing and healing People that will take you as long as 12 month to do. Since Master Doc maxes out at 80K normal xp which would be 8K FSXP --which by the way is a freaken joke-- and also the convertion of it well as said. I did the Persuation tree and had planed of the healing tree. However, I found the Infamouse REZ macro and did that for 10 minutes. I found out that as IMP you just had to add your AT-ST to your group and include him to the Rez macro .. so that he attacks the "Vitctim" no Bf, no long time hitting yopu oponent. just one hit rez and rinse. you max out in like 2 weeks per tree. I just gave up the hope of getting my INITIATED before the CU hits so I changed all my stoff to droping DOC >Sigh< and getting MasterMarksman and later Comando 4xxx which made the grind of my last 11 trees in 5 Days ! WOOT 11 trees in 5 Days.
I have to add one more thing, I started grinding FSXP with my TKM and the Unamred XP and combat. It took me a long time to get a tree done.....until I saw the light. ITS not what you like for your Char to be ...ITs what you have to do to get it done. I saw alot of posts about Fightclubbing, macro Rezzing, Tumbling, and exploiting. Here is my question to myself and all of you out there. Why are they people so called "Cheating" the system of leveling? My Answer to all this is or would be ...cuz there is no way you can get it a normal way ..everytime you come close to your goal in this game some crackhead ..( DEV) NErfs something or delete a skill or mod. As it concerns to the CU ...quess what ! I changed my whole and entire way of getting my JEDI. I had to drop something I had fun with in order to become JEDI .. is that normal ? No its not.
My advice ( since I am already a Padi ) you just do the Village quest, than get the revard ( like a LS crafting kit) and do all the rest of your FS trees in Reflexes, and Combat... this way you get JEdi in no time. I unlogged 7 trees and I am not even using the most of the Skills like, Persuation ( useless), Vehicle control ( bugged its not working), I would have loved to get one of those nice LS crafting kits but unitl I saw I can't I am not a crafter !
WEll mybe this post gives you an idea of what I am trying to make clear here, Don't do what you like ... do and grind what you have to in order to get it done later you will have enough time to concider what would have be better .. a Master artisan aka Master AS, WS... or just go combat and do it .. a JEdi will never craft excet the LS and there are ways aound to exploit that ! with Food, drinks, and city + so if you want Jedi before Cu or just cuz of the fact that you got tired of crafting the same item over and over and over again drop crafting and go PRO.

A pity crafting grenades doesn't have the same yield as using them...

This is why people have made illegal autocrafting programs 
But you can get banned for those, so stay away
